      statement of material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to

      a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
      disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision,
      to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its
      consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
      entities, particularly during the period in which this annual report is
      being prepared;

      (b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
      such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our

      external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
      principles;

      over financial reporting that occurred during the Company's most recent
      fiscal quarter (the Company's fourth quarter in the case of an annual

      materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial
      reporting; and

5.    The Company's other certifying officer(s) and I have disclosed, based on
      our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting,
      to the Company's auditors and the audit committee of the Company's board
      of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):


      (a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
      operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
      reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company's ability to record,
      process, summarize and report financial information; and

      (b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
      employees who have a significant role in the Company's internal control
      over financial reporting.
